Customer Journey Map
for Regulation of and contribution to more efficient operation of businesses (ISIC 8413)
Shifting the perspective from 'enforcement' to 'user-centric service' is the current industry imperative to improve business efficiency and economic competitiveness.
Strategic Overview
For ISIC 8413, the 'customer' is the business entity or entrepreneur navigating the regulatory framework. A Customer Journey Map is critical to identifying where 'administrative bottlenecks' and 'taxonomic friction' occur during interactions like licensing, reporting, and inspection. By mapping these touchpoints, regulators can identify the exact points of failure where the process becomes a deterrent to business efficiency.
Currently, many regulatory interactions are siloed, creating 'syntactic friction' where data must be repeatedly submitted in non-interoperable formats. Applying this map reveals that businesses often experience 'black-box governance,' where the status of their compliance is opaque. Mapping the journey provides a clear mandate to move from a process-centric administration to a service-centric, digital-first interface that reduces the cost of compliance for the private sector.
